Wood lighthouses were common before the 19th century because wood was readily available. It was phased out as a primary material due to the susceptibility to fire. Masonry towers were made from rubble stone, cut stone, brick and concrete. Sometimes lighthouses are made with Rubble stone, cut stone, brick, and concrete.
